# ssbnorway.data.metadata Get the full metadata for a specific SSB table — dimension codes, valid value codes, and human-readable labels needed to construct a data query. Returns table title, last-updated timestamp, and an array of variables (dimensions) each with its code (e.g. "Region"), readable name, list of valid value codes, and corresponding labels. This is the required second step before querying data: call ssbnorway.data.search to find a table ID, then ssbnorway.data.metadata to learn the dimension codes and valid values, then ssbnorway.data.query to retrieve actual data. Common table IDs: "07459" (population by region/sex/age/year), "09842" (GDP per capita), "05111" (labour force), "03013" (CPI). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `ssbnorway.data.metadata`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/ssbnorway.data.metadata ## Facts - Tool: `ssbnorway.data.metadata` - Server: Apibase (`apibase-mcp-client`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase.md - Install: `npx -y apibase-mcp-client` - Homepage: https://github.com/whiteknightonhorse/APIbase - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 1 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `table_id` | string | yes | SSB table ID (numeric string). Obtain from ssbnorway.search results. Common tables: "07459" (population by region/sex/age/year), "09842" (GDP per capita by year | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "ssbnorway.data.metadata", "arguments": { "table_id": "" } } } ``` ## Why ssbnorway.data.metadata is rated Low Retrieves metadata and structure information only; enables queries but performs no data access or side effects. From the tool's own definition: "Get metadata, dimension codes, valid value codes, human-readable labels, returns table structure information." ## Use case AI agents call ssbnorway.data.metadata to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Apibase: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "ssbnorway.data.metadata": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Apibase (1383) - `infra.cloudflare.dns_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/infra.cloudflare.dns-delete.md - `infra.cloudflare.purge_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/infra.cloudflare.purge-cache.md - `polymarket.trading.cancel_order` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/polymarket.trading.cancel-order.md - `ai.image.generate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/ai.image.generate.md - `aipush.market.report` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/aipush.market.report.md - `audio.transcribe.submit` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/audio.transcribe.submit.md - `dev.code.execute` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/dev.code.execute.md - `device.registry.command` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/device.registry.command.md - `document.convert.from_pdf` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/document.convert.from-pdf.md - `document.convert.to_pdf` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/document.convert.to-pdf.md - `document.convert.web_to_pdf` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/document.convert.web-to-pdf.md - `hf_inference.nlp.translate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/hf-inference.nlp.translate.md - `infra.browser.create_session` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/infra.browser.create-session.md - `phone.telnyx.sms_world` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/phone.telnyx.sms-world.md - `phone.twilio.sms` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/phone.twilio.sms.md - `platform.batch.call` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/platform.batch.call.md - `scb.tables.query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/scb.tables.query.md - `socrata.datasets.query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/socrata.datasets.query.md - `web.screenshot.capture` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/web.screenshot.capture.md - `domain.namesilo.register` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/domain.namesilo.register.md - `phone.telnyx.sms_premium` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/phone.telnyx.sms-premium.md - `polymarket.trading.place_order` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/polymarket.trading.place-order.md - `abr.business.abn_lookup` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abr.business.abn-lookup.md - `abr.business.acn_lookup` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abr.business.acn-lookup.md - `abr.business.name_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abr.business.name-search.md - `abs.demographics.population` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abs.demographics.population.md - `abs.economy.cpi` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abs.economy.cpi.md - `abs.economy.gdp` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abs.economy.gdp.md - `abs.economy.labour_force` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abs.economy.labour-force.md - `abs.economy.trade` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase/abs.economy.trade.md - …and 1353 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
